Fightnews.com® caught up with the Philly legend, Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins, and discussed the SuperFight between Ryan “KingRy” Garcia and Gervonta “Tank” Davis slated for April 22 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and live on Showtime PPV. Hopkins shared his thoughts on the Paul-Fury showdown and Badou Jack winning his third division title this past weekend in Saudi Arabia. He discussed Vergil Ortiz Jr. upcoming fight with Eimantas Stanionis on Sat, April 29 in Arlington, TX, streamed via DAZN and his hope for Spence-Crawford sooner than later with Ortiz fighting the winner and much more in this exclusive interview.

Throwback all the way.
Hopefully, Hopkins can get through an entire interview without insulting ‘Whites’ and others. I know he publicly stated he would never lose to a White person but Calzaghe, Smith, and Kovalev were not listening!!!!!!
That KO by Smith was a classic! Hopkins realized in that fight that youth with aggression is downright hard to handle with advancing age. At that time, that was KO of the year in my opinion.
Hopkins has been trying to make up for that comment and making enemies on both sides.
But Hopkins should know better than to think he would ever get back in good grace.
I believe Hopkins is a master at getting under skin and he didnt say that to insult Whites. It was to put pressure on his opponent. And to sell tickets for his farewell fight. He wasn’t exciting fighter so he had you pay to see him lose.
You prob had no prob when he dropped the PR flag right? He insulted your “White Hope”.
But I understand he hurt a lot of people with a comment that would usually be kept at the gym level.
Your comment is a prime example of how the Black man’s racism is quietly brushed under the carpet!!!!!
BHop in his prime would whip all three of those to be honest, and i’m saying that as a white guy.
Bernard Hopkins scared to go HAM. lol
